The BEng General Engineering with Foundation Year (BEng) at Canterbury Christ Church University is a four-year undergraduate program that provides students with a broad and flexible engineering education. The foundation year introduces students to the fundamental principles of engineering, while the subsequent three years allow students to specialize in their chosen area of interest. With a focus on practical applications and hands-on experience, this course prepares students for a successful career in engineering.
Students will have access to state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, including a dedicated engineering workshop and computer labs. The course is taught by experienced academics with industrial experience, providing students with a unique blend of theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Graduates of this program will be well-equipped to pursue careers in a variety of engineering fields, including mechanical, electrical, civil, and more.
Canterbury Christ Church University is a leading provider of engineering education, with a strong reputation for producing well-rounded and highly skilled engineers. The university's location in Canterbury provides easy access to London and the surrounding area, offering students a wealth of opportunities for internships, placements, and networking. The university's commitment to sustainability and social responsibility makes it an attractive choice for students looking to make a positive impact through their work.
As with all our Engineering degree courses, our General Engineering course isn’t just designed to teach you the practical and technical aspects of the subject.
It also allows you to get involved in solving problems facing businesses in the real world, using the pioneering ‘Concept, Design, Implementation and Operation’ (CIDO) approach.
CDIO is an international engineering education model, developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It allows you to learn in a practical, hands-on way to find creative, evaluated solutions to industry-related engineering challenges. We are one of only a handful of universities in the UK to offer CDIO.
You will gain key employability skills and be encouraged to take up placements, helping you to go straight into employment upon completion of your studies.
Our foundation year option enables you to join the General Engineering course even if you don’t have the formal qualifications or experience to meet the entry requirements. It equips you with the knowledge to move into formal degree study, setting you up for future success.
